Who We Are
We are a worldwide group of schools where
- people from all around the world -
study with practical, autodidactic and traditional courses
about global issues, development work and the fight against poverty
Depending on the program, students and volunteers are called Development Instructors or D.I.s or Poverty Fighters.
DRH is an abbreviation for "Den Rejsende Højskole", which is Danish and means "The Travelling Folk High School".
The first DRH School started in Denmark in 1970
During the first 10 years, the Travelling Folk High Schools visited 135 countries - using the world as a classroom and all the people as teachers.
Participants and teachers driving through the
Baluchistan desert in Pakistan on their way to India
The first 10 years, thousands of young people went travelling to all parts of the world and met with people from all walks of life. As a natural consequence of meeting fellow human beings, of whom many lived under poor and unacceptable conditions, the endeavor began to minimize the gap between rich and poor.
Today, the International DRH Movement comprises of 14 Travelling Folk High Schools located in 8 different countries on 4 continents: Europe, USA, Africa and Asia.
